Diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis due to detection of ESAT-6-specific gamma interferon production in cerebrospinal fluid enzyme-linked immunospot assay.
Article in Clinical and vaccine immunology : CVI, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A coma patient was diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis by the detection of ESAT-6-specific gamma interferon-secreting cells in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid by enzyme-linked immunospot assay prior to the identification of the pathogen in a culture of the cerebrospinal fluid.
